Athene gave Pasiphae another of his slight friendly smiles at her agreement to accompany him on the evening's patrol and nodding at her mention of perhaps stopping to pick up some hot chocolate of her own. "Well if you do, then I may get a refill" he said as he started walking again, keeping his pace easy. "Takeaway hot drinks make pretty good hand warmers" he admitted, adding "Well at least they do when they're still warm."

Although not all patrols were pleasant, Athene had high hopes that this would definitely be one of the nicer ones - after all good things were supposed to come in threes and given that there had been an alliance offer, a potential new friend and a companion to share the patrol in all in short order, Athene was going to take it as a sign that tonight would continue to be a good one.
